I can't use LiveSplit
Australia

I recently downloaded LiveSplit, but I can't use the timer. so I go to downloads, then LiveSplit-1, then LiveSplit.exe. but when I click it, it does not do anything! even when I click open! is livesplit.exe the file for the timer? is this a computer bug? I use macOS. someone please tell me. I don't know what to do.

LiveSplit doesn't support macOS unfortunately

Oh no! thanks for your reply... I didn't know that... is splitter allowed? it's a speed run timer for the macOS

The only reason you would need Livesplit is if the game is on PC and uses a community made script to remove loading times from the run. If that's the case and you don't use a timer, the moderators are supposed to accept your run but with the loading times included. So basically you don't need a timer to submit

If you want a timer for yourself I'm sure splitter is fine although I've never used it myself since I'm on Windows

thanks for your advice! now I can finally submit a run here. I've been wanting to do this for a long time!

wait..... Symystery, if you don't need a timer to submit why is the run time required in submitting a run? also, I found a version of live split called live split one, it works on macOS, but I don't know how to transport the timer to the tab that I'm playing my game on. regards, iamamodforjellymario

This is a very strange question. You're submitting to a leaderboard that's sorted by run time... so obviously the run time is necessary.

To be clear, you should still definitely time your run with something regardless of what's required just so that you know how long your run is. Symystery just meant that you don't need to use any specific timer, or show it in the video or whatever.

Okay.... I get it..... you just have to time it with something!! I'm very new to speedrunning, so I guess I'm asking a lot of questions. is there a way to make the clock app start the stopwatch when you start the game? or any other app? what is the easiest way to time a run? I'm doing you have to burn the rope on crazygames since I couldn't find a way to download the game. I found out that saradoc made a in game timer for you have to burn the rope but there is no application to open it. is this because I'm using macOS?
